Android 6 (Marshmallow) on 2015/2016 TV's?

Hello.

 

During CES I heard a news that Sony will bring Android 6 (Marshmallow) to the 2015 TV lineup.

General News about Marshmallow on Android TV's

These news are from January.

Had anyone heard something new about this?

Nope it's release day.. If you read the UK site correctly.. It reads also check the link below folks...

Sony are making it avaliable via USB download but the roll out will commence untill the end of May.

Update ist now online in German speaking countries. Changelog is basically a repetition of the last one. Suppose they only fixed installation issues....

Well I hope not as I had to have a replacement TV because my X94 was unusable.

Hi everyone, My fist post and I am downloading the update as I type this. I hope to install it this evening and I will let you know how I get on. Fingers crossed it will be the update we should all have had when we bought the TV in 2015.

So I downloaded the update file and installed it to the tv.

Quickly using it, here are my thoughts:

 

  • Menus seem more responsive and that's really all i wanted.
  • There's a new "Streaming Channels" input which has google play movies and tv trailers on it for me(i dont know what it's for really...maybe a legit version of kodi live tv?)
  • Still cant hide the recommendations/featured apps list which is annoying.
  • Still cant pair bluetooth headphones 😕
  • Wish you could customize what the background image is or at least its colour since the brown isnt that fantastic.

    All in all it's a performance update in my eyes
